  In Gaming, Wired Madness

  

  The Red Cross, a previously well respected humanitarian organization, has come forward at the 31st International Conference of the Red Cross (ICRC) and Red Crescent in Geneva, to warn that possibly, over 600 million gamers worldwide might be guilty of violating the Geneva convention by not conforming to it, in the virtual world of video games. I kid you not, this is true. The Red Cross have said that if they should find that such [...]

   

• Xbox 360 – The Modern Warfare 3 Edition

  In Gaming

  

  Unfortunately I don’t have a valid excuse that would allow me to go out and buy another X-360, so I will have to admire this Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 edition (with its slick graphics and special power on sounds) from afar… oh well. Price: $400 gets you the 320GB version (Pre-order only) [The Awesomer]

• Worst Job Ever? COD: Black Ops Assistant

  In Gaming

  

  If there is a worse occupation than sitting down and watching someone play what could possibly be the greatest first person shooter ever made, I’ve yet to hear of it. Getting paid in cheap beer and only getting one turn doesn’t exactly sweeten the pot either. Yeah, I know that its a joke, but seriously, if anyone is interested in doing the same thing for me – I will throw in good beer and unlimited [...]

   

• Gunnar Gaming Shades, Black-ops Style

  In Gaming

  

  My opinion on gaming shades has changed since I got an imperceptibly slight shade of gray tinted onto my glasses lenses. The effect, my eyes get a lot less tired looking at LCD screens and I have the ability to read and write a whole lot more. So, while they are expensive, I contend that gaming glasses are not necessarily snake oil and that they do serve a purpose – and that purpose need not [...]

   

• Call of Duty: Black Ops Prestige Collector’s Edition Totally Makes Me Want to be a Prestigious Collector

  In Gadgets

  

  The Call of Duty: Black Ops Prestige Collector’s Edition has the usual stuff that one would associate with collector’s editions of popular games – a book, a medal, etc. Stupid add-on junk that is destined to become clutter. Then there is the RC surveillance vehicle, which could possibly offer some fun times. It comes with an onboard camera that can shoot video and audio and stream it back an LCD screen on the controller up [...]

   

• Ultimate Clean Toilet: Self Cleaning Toilet Doubles as a Urinal

  In Design

  

  The Ultimate Clean Toilet is designed with tightly packed urban environments in mind. The toilet performs double duty, functioning as a urinal when sitting is not required but transforming into a toilet at the push of a button – and it sterilizes the seat automatically thanks to a built-in UV system. Urinals tend to be packed fairly closely together and I am not quite sure that I want to be that close to another man [...]

  If you don’t like the idea of walking around with images of guns on your beanie, not to worry, this Call of Duty number lets you flip it inside out and look semi-respectable, but still turns into a game hat when you need it most. Price: $14 [Gkworld via Fashionably Geek]

• Rumor: Next Medal of Honor Title Set in Afghanistan

  In Gaming

  

  The rumor mill won’t stop spinning in relation to the next round of first person shooters. Word on the street is that Medal of Honor: Operation Anaconda will be set in Afghanistan. Stranger things have happened and considering that the U.S. Military operation in Afghanistan ran by the same name. According to Kotaku, we can also expect: MOH:OA is said by the (machine translated) survey to feature front line combat, sniper duties and “drone attack” [...]

   

• New Call of Duty Coming in 2009!

  In Gaming

  

  While it has been a while since I have enjoyed a Call of Duty 4 session, I am somewhat excited by the news that we will see a new release from Activision in ’09. Better yet is the rumor that Infinity Ward will once again be at the helm for the development. Call of Duty 4 was certainly the most polished FPS that I have experienced and as long as they make sure our profiles [...]

   

• No Force Unleashed for the PC, a Pattern is Developing

  In Gaming

  

  Lucas Arts has announced that although they are providing Force Unleashed for new consoles and semi-antiques alike, they will not be making a PC version of their soon to be popular game. Lucas Arts states its reasons for the decision: If we made the game for high-end PCs, someone with a low-end PC would have a watered down experience, they would have to turn all the settings down and it wouldn”t be the same game.
